Description

Julia Fischer is your soloist in Mozart’s most popular violin concerto, nicknamed Turkish for the effect of strings playing with the backs of their bows to imitate the drums of Ottoman soldiers. Plus Brahms’s gripping First Symphony, decades in the making; you’ll feel the composer’s dramatic struggle that led to the final triumph of this mighty achievement. Alec Baldwin is your host.
